New slaughterhouse for southern Vermont set to open

WESTMINSTER (AP) — A new state-of-the-art slaughterhouse that will serve farmers in southern Vermont is set to open next month in Westminster. State agriculture officials say Westminster Meats is waiting for a key piece of machinery.

Randy Quenneville of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture says the facility will become Vermont’s seventh red-meat slaughterhouse. It will also be able to process poultry. It still needs to receive final approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

I’m not the guy with the slaughterhouse. I just run a beginning farmers website from Michigan which reports on these things. If you cant find the info for how to get in touch with them, let me know and I will try to help.
